I need a new name - starting as a Samaritan volunteer. Not naming a baby!

[RedCheckedTablecloth]

My actual name is reasonably identifiable and I need a very neutral name to use on the phone. The branch I work at currently has a direct line number.

What would you consider to be safe, neutral, easy to remember/classless name?

Well done you. How about Anna or Miriam?

Deanna. Only because Star Trek is on tv and she was the ships counsellor so it seems appropriate.

Would never have thought of Jade but Wish is right, it covers a lot of groups. I was also going to suggest Ann. Sarah does also seem pretty broad in appeal.

Judy

Caroline
Juliet
Felicity
Sophia
Emily
Melissa
Harriet
Clara
Louisa
Susannah
Charlotte
Christina

Sophia/zofia covers a few different groups too I believe.

Rose or Lily? Flower names are universal

Was just going to say Sophia and variations of it cover quite a few cultures and nationalities. Jade also good.

Hannah
Sophia
Anita

Or Nina.

Personally, I'd go for Hannah / Hana / Hanna that covers different cultures well.

Monica
Erika
Anna
Helena
Isabella
Victoria

Sarah, Anna and Marie cross several cultures I think.

Maggie

Sam. Short for Samaritan, short and easy. I think pretty much all of us at the branch were Sam!

'Ruth' has a rather nice double meaning, as the word 'ruth' in English also means pity, or compassion.

Is there a name that transcends all cultures and religions?

Sara.

I wouldn't want to pour my heart out to a Jade (sorry to anyone called Jade!)

I think Ruth, Helena, Miriam, Beth are all suitable.

Kim.

I think Jo is a reassuring kind of name. The name of a kindly and practical person.

Yes, Jo. Definitely Jo.
